The Afghanistan Genocide Essays site contains a series of carefully
researched articles by Dr Gideon Polya about the ongoing Afghanistan Holocaust
and Afghanistan Genocide.

Many of these articles were originally published by the humane and ethical
Media With Conscience News (MWC News) in the period 2005-2010. However this
site was eliminated in January 2010, although a new MWC News has resumed its
outstanding role in ethical, humanitarian reportage (see: http://mwcnews.org/ ). Accordingly, links to MWC
News prior to circa January 2010 in these articles will not work (and are
progressively being replaced in the articles on this site with workable
relevant links) . Further, when these articles were recovered from my files,
the date of submission to MWC News is given. When articles cached by Google or re-published by others have been recovered and published here the original date of publication by MWC News is given.

Peace is the only way but silence kills and silence is complicity. We are
obliged to inform others about abuses of humanity. We cannot walk by on the
other side.

As of mid-December 2009 it is estimated from the latest UN Population
Division data that in Occupied Afghanistan post-invasion non-violent excess
deaths total 3.4 million; post-invasion violent deaths total 1.1 million (assuming
expert US-Australian advice that the level of violence has been 4 times lower
in the Afghan War than in the Iraq War); post-invasion violent and non-violent
avoidable deaths total 4.5 million; and post-invasion under-5 infant deaths
total 2.4 million (90% avoidable and due to US Alliance war crimes in gross
violence of the Geneva Convention – Articles 55 and 56 of the Geneva Convention
Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War demand that an
Occupier must supply life-sustaining food and medical requisites “to the
fullest extent of the means available to it” (see: http://www1.umn.edu/humanrts/instree/y4gcpcp.htm
) but according to the WHO (see: http://www.who.int/countries/en/
) the “total annual expenditure on health per capita” permitted in Occupied
Afghanistan is $29 as compared to $6,714 in Occupier US and $3,122 in Occupier
racist, white Apartheid Australia).

There are 3-4 million Afghan refugees plus a further 2.5 million Pashtun
refugees generated in NW Pakistan by the obscene war policies of war criminal
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Obama – this carnage involving 4.5 million
post-invasion violent and non-violent excess Afghan deaths constitutes an
Afghan Holocaust and an Afghan Genocide as defined by Article 2 of the UN
Genocide Convention (see: http://www.edwebproject.org/sideshow/genocide/convention.html
): “In the present
Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to
destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as
such: a) Killing members of the group; b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm
to members of the group; c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of
life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; d)
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; e) Forcibly
transferring children of the group to another group.”

Dr Gideon Polya has been teaching Biochemistry at a
leading Australian university for 4 decades (he currently teaches Biochemistry
theory and laboratory courses to second year Agricultural Sceince students).
He published some 130 scientific works in a 5 decade scientific career,
most recently a huge pharmacological reference text "Biochemical Targets
of Plant Bioactive Compounds" (CRC Press/Taylor & Francis, New York & London,
2003). He has recently published “Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since
1950” (G.M. Polya, Melbourne, 2007: http://globalbodycount.blogspot.com/
); see also his contribution “Australian complicity in Iraq mass
mortality” in “Lies, Deep Fries & Statistics” (edited by Robyn
Williams, ABC Books, Sydney, 2007): http://www.abc.net.au/rn/science/ockham/stories/s1445960.htm
). He has just published a revised and updated 2008 version of his 1998 book
“Jane Austen and the Black Hole of British History” (see: http://janeaustenand.blogspot.com/ )
as biofuel-, globalization- and climate-driven global food price increases
threaten a greater famine catastrophe than the man-made famine in British-ruled
India that killed 6-7 million Indians in the “forgotten” World War 2 Bengal
Famine (see recent BBC broadcast involving Dr Polya, Economics Nobel Laureate
Professor Amartya Sen and others: http://www.open2.net/thingsweforgot/bengalfamine_programme.html
). When words fail one can say it in pictures - for images of Gideon Polya’s
